[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 661031, member: 256551"] You may not have the Sirius LNB in the optimum spot, and you may not have chosen a strong enough transponder. A trick I use, when trying to find the best position for an offset LNB if having difficulty, is to remove the holder and LNB, and then hold the LNB in my hand, moving it about, until I find where it should go roughly. Also, on the Triax multiblock, it works better sometimes if you turn the aluminium bar upside down, so that you can swivel it to a steeper angle. As for the Astra 2 LNB, it will be picking up Astra 2/Eurobird1 only, if you are getting the Astra 2/Eurobird1 channels. The dish is not distorted, the receiver is not confused. Your confusion is caused by you not understanding that the same frequencies are re-used again and again all around the satellite arc, which means, that if you point your dish at one satellite, and select a completely different one on the receiver, that uses the same tranponder details, the receiver will say it has a signal. But if you scan it, you will get only the channels from the satellite, the dish/LNB is actually pointing at. [/QUOTE]
